Catalyst Sports Inc.

Catalyst Sports Inc., a minority-owned, Hispanic American-owned nonprofit organization based in Atlanta, Georgia, supplies adaptive sports equipment—primarily recumbent bikes, handcycles, and trikes—to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor on competitively awarded purchase orders with no set-aside designation. The vendor operates almost entirely as a prime (90% of recent awards) across a narrow, specialized customer base of five federal agencies, with combined potential value of $158 thousand across ten awards since 2021.

Catalyst Sports' customer footprint is dominated by the Veterans Health Administration. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Networks account for eight of ten awards—Veterans Integrated Service Network 9 placed three awards valued at $74 thousand combined, Veterans Integrated Service Network 7 placed three awards at $48 thousand combined, and Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 placed two awards at $36 thousand combined. The remaining two awards come from the Department of Veterans Affairs' Under Secretary for Health and the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living. Concentration is extreme; a single customer agency (VA) represents the entire VA customer set and drives award volume and dollar value, with all but one award issued by VA health networks.

The vendor's award portfolio consists entirely of firm fixed-price purchase orders for adaptive cycling and mobility equipment. Representative recent work includes a $31.8 thousand custom Bowhead Reach recumbent bike for a veteran patient (VISN 9, July 2026), a $26 thousand HANDCYCLE delivery (VISN 7, October 2025), a $25.8 thousand HANDYCYCLE 2025 initiative contract (VISN 9, November 2025), and an $11.4 thousand ICE TRACK program bicycle (VISN 6, September 2025). Equipment deliveries are typically scheduled for completion within sixty to ninety days of award, with performance occurring at veteran medical centers or the vendor's home location in Murfreesboro or Atlanta, Tennessee and Georgia respectively. Award activity accelerated in 2025, with five orders placed, followed by two awards in the first seven months of 2026.

Catalyst Sports also holds a sub-award under the Christopher Reeve Foundation's federal grant work—a December 2023 sub-recipient award supporting the "Promoting Accessibility to Adaptive Cycling for Rural and Underserved People Living with Paralysis" program, which provides mobile adaptive cycling demonstrations and customization support to individuals with paralysis in underserved areas. The vendor's broader federal grant history includes partnerships with the Christopher Reeve Foundation supporting adaptive mountain biking and climbing initiatives for veterans.

The category concentration reflects the vendor's specialization: eight of ten awards fall under NAICS 335994 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing), with primary PSC coding under Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies. The vendor competes without set-aside designation despite its minority-owned and nonprofit status, indicating direct competition in the open federal marketplace for specialized adaptive equipment. Note that obligated dollars ($365 thousand) exceed combined potential value ($158 thousand), signaling that actual invoicing across the footprint has exceeded cumulative ceilings—a data pattern typical of small, low-value recurring purchase orders where vendors may deliver multiple units or iterations under single contract ceilings.
